What It Is
A partner drill where you fight to stop your legs from being pushed down, building a strong, quick-reacting midsection.
How to Do It
Lie on your back on the floor with your partner standing at your head, and hold their ankles. Raise your legs straight up. Your partner pushes them down and away, and you stop them before they touch the floor. Lift them back up for the next push.
Skill Level
Intermediate. Free-weight lifts, single-leg balance under load, or near-bodyweight strength moves. Form matters.
Type
Strength. Builds muscle and strength with controlled, resisted movement.
Engagement
Bilateral. Each rep works both sides of the body at once.
